If you had to choose, which one would it be?

Another house comparison thread. I'm interested in your views please!

The area is identical for both as they're on the same road.

Number one: www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/85503141#/?channel=RES_BUY

Number two: www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/85554357#/?channel=RES_BUY

The second one for style and character. The garden on the first is nicer though. Both are 3x my budget, glad I live in the north!

Two

The first one. I don’t like the sloped ceilings or multi level garden of the second,

Number one. Don't like the decor but of course you can change that but it looks more homely and less crowded

One. Much nicer!

Never been happier to be Northern!

I prefer the second house.

Two. The first one would cost £££££ to update

One.
Two is just a bland box.

Isn't the usual thing on that road to buy it then massively extend it or knock it down and build something bigger?
Anyway
No. 1, the garden is nicer.

Two, because at this stage in my life, that style of outdoor space has more appeal.

No1 can put my own stamp on it, more secluded.
I am older though, I like the garden.

No 2 makes me feel overlooked, too many houses on top of eachother. Nice looking house but it’s all ‘done’.

Going off the pictures, I'd pick house 1 because I think it has a lot more character and I love that style of staircase.

Going off the floor plans I'd pick house 2, so much more house for your money.

I’d purchase one

the master bedroom I’d put in a dressing room as an addition to the en-suite

thr garden is lovely but I’d open up the house to the garden ( French doors) and update the kitchen

Have you been into them? 2 looks bitty and disjointed downstairs. So on that basis I'd buy 1.

2 is much nicer and you’d have lots left over to make it fabulous

1 is SSTC tho. Have you already offered on it?

The windows in number two are tiny! That only would put me off. Number one is far nicer.

1. Much nicer plot. A bit dated but perfectly liveable,looks homely not bland

One as I massively prefer the layout, I grew up in a house like that and it was lovely. The garden too is huge.

Though you get more sq ft for your money in 2 and I prefer the decor in 2...

They are both sstc though aren't they?

One for me. Seems much lighter, with larger windows. Yes, the carpets and wall-paper are dated, but nothing you can't live with while you make it your own. Plus it seems less overlooked and the garden is far better. Two seems cramped and dark, and the bathrooms and kitchen and decor aren't anything special - I would want to change most things there too.

2, unless you have at least another 100k to do up 1.

One is a better house and plot... but it is expensive as it needs a lot of work to get it to the standard of two.

2nd one for me. Love the outside and the inside.

1 is much better, the flow is nicer and it’s more interesting plus the garden is great.

I wouldn't buy either for that money. Not helpful I know, but No1 needs a lot of decorating and I hate the staircase, No 2 is bland. A difficult one.
